IMPROVEMENT IN MILK-CONDUCTORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent'No. 161,889, dated'April13, 1875; application filed December 10, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EGBERT MACY, of Brooklyn, State of New Yorkfhaveinvented an Improvement in Milk-Conductors, ot' which the following is aspecification This invention consists of an apparatus to be attached toa door, gate, or partition, in such a manner that the customer may beserved with milk at any time Without being in attendance to receive it.

Another object of this invention is to provide a spout or conductor easyot adjustment for use, and ot' removal for the purpose of being cleaned.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a vertical, and Fig. 2 ahorizontal, section ot' a door or partition with my apparatus attached.

S is a spout or conductor, made ot' metal or other suitable material. Dis a door or partition, through which the milk is to be conducted. O isan outer, and I an inner, plate ot' metal, secured to the door. Theseplates have an opening through them to correspond with the form of theconductor or spout. In order that the spout may be securely held in itsplace when in use, and to compensate for the difference in thickness ofdoors, I have adopted, as one plan or device, the notched projection Nupon the under side of the spout or conductor, in combination with thesharp or angular edge of the inner door-plate at e. There are` also tworibs or stops, 'r i", upon the outer door-plate7 to prevent the spoutfrom tilting when in its proper position. H is a hook, forming a part ofthe spout, upon which a pail may be hung to receive the milk. C is acover or lid, which is secured to the outer door-plate by means ot' ahinge, h, at the bot tom, and'any suitable lock at the top, as at t.

The milk-dealer has only to open the cover C, and pour the milk into thespout at I), and it Will pass through the spout into a vessel placed toreceive it.

The spout can be used as a deposit for money or tickets.

I claim as my invention- 1. The adjustable conductor or spout, withcompensating device, substantially as described.

2. The removable conductor or spout, in combination with the outer andinner doorplates, substantially as described.

3. The notched projection on the under side of the conductor or spout,in combination With the sharp edge ot' the inner door-plate, and theribs or steps on the outer door-plate, substantially as and for thepurpose set forth.

EGBERT MACY.
